We study the covert communication over K-user discrete memoryless interference channels (DM-ICs) with a warden. It is assumed that the warden's channel output distribution induced by K "off" input symbols, which are sent when no…

In this work, we propose a covert communication scheme where the transmitter attempts to hide its transmission to a full-duplex receiver, from a warden that is to detect this covert transmission using a radiometer. Specifically, we first…

We show that covert secret key expansion is possible using a public authenticated classical channel and a quantum channel largely under control of an adversary, which we precisely define. We also prove a converse result showing that, under…
